Fine dining... should we?

[LoveTrains]

I would do it because it sounds delicious and me and H would love something like this.

[jinkies]

if it were your birthday I'd say go with the super fancy place. But your anniversary is a joint celebration, so I think you should choose someplace that your H will enjoy.

I'm a picky eater and I would love to go there. The menu looks great.

My husband would hate this. He hates fru fru and he's a picky eater. I would love this, but I wouldn't want to pay $300 and listen to him bitch all night. If your husband would be a good sport and go along with it because you want to do it, then do it.

I think you should go somewhere you'd both enjoy. Honestly I'd never go to that place and I consider my self a high functioning picky eater who can usually eat anywhere. There was really nothing I would eat there with any enjoyment.

I wouldn't want to spend that kind of money if you know he won't enjoy it.

Love that term! There are a lot of nice/fun/ interesting places that I've tried and would love to try, but this menu doesn't interest me.

We are not fancy food people so this would be a total waste. I agree with a PP that it's a joint celebration, so I'd go with a place you would both enjoy.

Shouldn't "current" on the menu by currant ?

We are going to Banff for our tenth anniversary in October too! We actually nixed that place. if I'm being honest, I'm a food asshole and I think it looks like it's trying too hard and just won't be very good. So good choice in canceling.

I think we are going to do the steakhouse at the Fairmont. Check that place out. It looks quite nice.

[daisypaloma]

I think the $150/pp price tag is not bad for a 10th year anniversary place. But I'd leave hungry from that place personally, so I'm glad you decided to cancel.

$$$$ tasting menus aren't for everyone, and that's ok. We'd totally pick the steakhouse, too.

[fernweh]

If your H won't enjoy, pick something else. The celebration is about both of you and just should both enjoy it and $300 is a lot to spend on a meal that won't be enjoyed.

[miniroller]

Yeah, I'd definitely steakhouse it.

Although, I'd also consider budgeting for (maybe as your ann gift from H?) a dinner out with a girlfriend or two. Again, this is simply if you have the specific desire, & because I can definitely relate. My H is much more of a steakhouse guy, so I have two groups with whom I try new restaurants once or twice a month. It works great!

[mrsd2006]

I am your husband. I'm a super picky and non adventurous eater. Give me a steak house any day!!

I also want to go to Banff. It looks amazing.

[insominac]

I think you should go with a friend (or even alone!) for your birthday. If you've never been to a place like that, but always wanted to, you shouldn't have to always bend to the joys of the steakhouse.

[drloretta]

My husband would have vetoed this place already. There's practically nothing he would eat there. I'd go with steakhouse if you think it will end better

[brooke77]

Did you show him the menu? Personally, I wouldn't enjoy this place either. It would be lost on me. If he isn't psyched about it, try a steakhouse.

[tacokick]

It looks really expensive for a not very exciting or exotic menu IMO
